Mrich1,
I can't comment on Medicare reimbursement rates as I am not on Medicare and my insurance does cover Mayo. I saw all the insurance statements from the times I went to Mayo and it wasn't clear to me that they were charging some sort of premium over other facilities and I doubt they would have been in my network if they did.
